In this paper we study the existence and non-existence of minimizers for a type of (critical) Poincar\'{e}-Sobolev inequalities. We show that minimizers do exist for smooth domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$, an also for some polyhedral domains. On…
The study is motivated by the known fact that, in the noncompact case, the main minimum-problem of the theory of interior capacities of condensers in a locally compact space is in general unsolvable, and this occurs even under very natural…
In this work we prove some abstract results about the existence of a minimizer for locally Lipschitz functionals, without any assumption of homogeneity, over a set which has its definition inspired in the Nehari manifold. As applications we…

We study the anisotropic Choquard--Pekar equation which de-scribes a polaron in an anisotropic medium. We prove the uniqueness and non-degeneracy of minimizers in a weakly anisotropic medium. In addition, for a wide range of anisotropic…

Kernelization---a mathematical key concept for provably effective polynomial-time preprocessing of NP-hard problems---plays a central role in parameterized complexity and has triggered an extensive line of research. This is in part due to a…
We prove a threshold phenomenon for the existence/non-existence of energy minimizing solitary solutions of the diffraction management equation for strictly positive and zero average diffraction. Our methods allow for a large class of…
First, this paper proves the existence of a minimizer for the Pekar functional including a constant magnetic field and possibly some additional local fields that are energy reducing. Second, the existence of the aforementioned minimizer is…
In this paper, a class of nonlocal fractional Dirichlet problems is studied. By using a variational principle due to Ricceri (whose original version was given in J. Comput. Appl. Math. 113 (2000), 401-410), the existence of infinitely many…

A nonlinear shell model is studied in this paper. This is a nonlinear variant of the Budiansky-Sanders linear shell model. Under some suitable assumptions on the magnitude of the applied force, we will prove the existence of a minimizer for…
